Who these formats suit

New parents eating at different times

A pack containing two separate pizzas lets you prepare one while keeping the other frozen, provided you follow the pack’s storage directions. Chicago Town’s Chicken & Bacon Club deep-dish pack contains two pizzas.

Parents looking for a quick pizza snack

Goodfella’s describes its Pizza Pockets as microwaveable snacks. Check the pack quantity and cooking directions if you need more than a snack or have only a microwave available.

Shoppers checking dietary requirements

Choose by the exact pizza’s ingredients and allergen declaration, not its brand or shelf category. Tesco lists vegan and gluten-free variants, but Joybuy’s listing for Dr. Oetker Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame Pizza declares wheat.

What to check before choosing

Start with the portion you want to prepare, then check whether the exact pack works with your available cooking method and storage plans.

Priority What to check Your needs
Portion format Check the number of pizzas in the pack and its serving information. Joybuy lists Chicago Town Chicken & Bacon Club as two pizzas in a 312g pack; its Goodfella’s Pepperoni Stonebaked Thin listing gives nutrition per half pizza. I want to prepare a smaller portion without assuming a whole boxed pizza is meant to be one serving.
Cooking method Look for instructions for the appliance you will use and follow the stated cooking and doneness directions. Goodfella’s describes Pizza Pockets as microwaveable; Joybuy lists a microwave method for the Chicago Town two-pizza pack. If I have only a short break or no oven available, I need a pack that explicitly gives microwave instructions.
Ingredients and allergens Read the exact flavour’s ingredient list, allergen declaration and any precautionary statements. Joybuy’s Dr. Oetker Vegan Pepperoni-Salame listing declares wheat and says it may contain hazelnuts and mustard. A vegan or gluten-free label alone does not answer every ingredient question I may have.
Frozen storage Check the storage temperature and instructions for thawed food before planning to keep an unused portion. The cited Joybuy listings for Chicago Town and Dr. Oetker say not to refreeze after thawing. I want to cook what I need now and keep any unused, still-frozen portion according to the pack directions.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming one pizza means one serving

    A whole pizza and a pack of two smaller pizzas are different portion formats. Joybuy’s Goodfella’s Pepperoni Stonebaked Thin listing gives nutrition per half pizza, while its Chicago Town Chicken & Bacon Club pack contains two separate pizzas.

    Read the net quantity, pack count and serving information before deciding how much to prepare.

  • Expecting every pizza to work in a microwave

    Microwave directions are product-specific: Goodfella’s describes its Pizza Pockets as microwaveable, and Joybuy lists a microwave method for the Chicago Town two-pizza pack. A cooking method shown for one format does not apply to another.

    If a microwave is essential, choose a pack that explicitly provides microwave instructions and follow them in full.

  • Using a dietary label instead of the allergen declaration

    Joybuy’s Dr. Oetker Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame listing declares wheat and precautionary statements for hazelnuts and mustard. A vegan label does not establish that a pizza meets a separate wheat-free requirement.

    Check the current ingredient and allergen information for the exact flavour and variant you intend to buy.

  • Planning to refreeze a thawed portion

    The cited Joybuy listings for Chicago Town and Dr. Oetker instruct shoppers not to refreeze their pizzas after thawing. Thawing a whole pizza is therefore a poor plan if you expect to put part of it back in the freezer.

    For separate cooking occasions, consider a pack with individually portioned pizzas and keep the unused pizza frozen in line with its storage instructions.

Relevant brand ranges

Chicago Town

Chicago Town offers deep-dish, stuffed-crust and takeaway-style formats. Joybuy’s Chicken & Bacon Club deep-dish listing identifies a 312g pack containing two pizzas.

  • The listed two-pizza pack offers a way to cook one pizza while keeping the other frozen.
  • Check the cooking directions and portion format on the exact pack; the wider Chicago Town range includes other formats.

Goodfella’s

Goodfella’s describes its Pizza Pockets as microwaveable snacks and also sells conventional stonebaked pizzas.

  • Pizza Pockets provide a snack-format option when microwave preparation matters.
  • Do not apply Pizza Pocket cooking directions to a whole pizza. Joybuy’s Pepperoni Stonebaked Thin listing gives nutrition per half pizza, not evidence that the whole pizza is one serving.

Dr. Oetker

Tesco lists Dr. Oetker vegan and gluten-free pizza variants among its frozen-food ranges.

  • Named variants give shoppers a starting point for checking a particular dietary requirement.
  • Check each variant separately: Joybuy’s Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame listing declares wheat and says it may contain hazelnuts and mustard.

Conventional pizzas on Joybuy

These two whole frozen pizzas are options if you prefer a conventional pizza and plan your portion using the pack information. They are not separately portioned pizzas or microwaveable pizza snacks; check each pack’s cooking directions before choosing it for a short break.

Goodfella’s Margherita Stonebaked Thin 334g pizza

Goodfella’s Margherita Stonebaked Thin 334g

A whole stonebaked pizza for shoppers willing to plan a portion rather than cook a separate small pizza. Check the serving panel and cooking directions on the pack; if avoiding gluten or milk, check its current allergen declaration.

Dr. Oetker Ristorante Hawaii Pizza 355g

Dr. Oetker Ristorante Hawaii Pizza 355g

A conventional whole pizza to consider when you can plan your portion from the pack information. Check its cooking directions before relying on a particular appliance, and read the current allergen declaration if wheat, milk or other cereals matter to you.

Frozen pizza questions

Is a whole frozen pizza always one serving?

No. Check the serving information on the exact pack: Joybuy’s Goodfella’s Pepperoni Stonebaked Thin 332g listing gives nutrition per half pizza, while its Chicago Town Chicken & Bacon Club 312g pack contains two separate pizzas.

Can I microwave a frozen pizza when I am short on time?

Only if the exact product provides microwave instructions. Goodfella’s describes Pizza Pockets as microwaveable, and Joybuy lists an 800W microwave method for Chicago Town’s two-pizza Chicken & Bacon Club pack. Follow the chosen pack’s full cooking instructions.

How should I keep a pizza I am not cooking yet?

Keep the unused portion frozen according to its pack instructions. The cited Joybuy listings for Chicago Town and Dr. Oetker say not to refreeze after thawing, so check the directions before planning to save part of a thawed pizza.

Does vegan pizza mean it contains no wheat?

No. Joybuy’s Dr. Oetker Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame listing declares wheat and says the pizza may contain hazelnuts and mustard. Read the current ingredient list and allergen statement for the precise product you are buying.
